Authentique maison catalane de caractère

LAROQUE DES ALBERES is a wonderful village with steep winding streets, lots of very good bars and cafes. There's also a convenience store, a good boulangerie and a small local market on Wednesday mornings. Parking is often scarce and makes it difficult carrying bags etc up a steep path to access the property. The property itself we found a bit dark and the outside seating area small without any view. The layout is somewhat quirky , there are 2 showers but one is accessed outside the house. The interior (separate ) toilet in particular necessitates a bit of manoeuvring. the kitchen is very well equipped, however it was annoying to discover there were no laundry or dishwasher tablets/liquid. When flying and hiring a car one is not able to bring such things. Martine did an excellent job in meeting and greeting, providing us with a lot of useful information. Never the less we enjoyed our holiday as the weather was good and the area is a wonderful combination of mountains and seaside. l

I have already written a review but it obviously didn’t send! We had a lovely time in Laroque. The situation of the property was lovely with views towards the mountains. I would give the property three and a half stars. The outside area was pleasant but with a rather dirty and old looking cover roped over the top of it. The kitchen facilities were very good although we had to buy dish washing materials. Also it would be good to have a little washing liquid available for the washing machine. There were 3 dish washing tablets - left over by a previous resident - which we used. We noticed that bits of paint were falling off the lounge walls. We cleaned them up several times. The toilet facility in the bedroom area was a bit quirky and awkward and the shower room could be smartened up a bit. I was wakened on the Monday of our stay during a thunder storm with water dripping on to the floor above. I got up to investigate and found that the water was coming down from a beam. I put a pan underneath to catch the water and informed Martine. As indicated previously we really enjoyed our holiday in Laroque and we may return in the future. Martine was very helpful as was her husband. None of the above comments spoiled our stay.

We spent two weeks in this wonderful house in the center of Laroque-des-Albères. The house is well equipped, very cozy and offers enough room for a family of five. The perfect pick for everyone who loves special houses, out of the ordinary. Martine, the neighbour, took care of us and was always available for any questions we had, which was extremely helpful. Laroque is a wonderful little village with a very unique charme, you will find everything you need. We had a wonderful time, but didn't have enough days to do everything there is to do in the region, so we will come back next year.

Laroque is such a beautiful setting and great for visits locally. The house is beautiful and very well equipped.Just a suggestion as we flew and hired a rental car so our baggage was minimal. Prehaps providing guests with beach towels or even options to hire them?? Would recommend this property

If you are looking for a modern equipped vacation home, near the coast, but without the 'mass tourism' of Argeles sur Mer, this is a great choice! Laroque des Alberes is a lovely village to stay: small, quite in daytime but alive in the evening with several nice bars restaurants. The location of the property couldn't be better, although you should not be afraid of a little walk since parking near the chateau isn't easy. We had a lovely holiday with our 2 kids (57 years old) here, thanks to this great home their lovely owners. Excellent price for this quality.

We were fascinated by the local life in the sweet village. Couln't believe we were just minutes from the beach, being set in the Pyrenees foothills. Great help from staff. Nice place to spend a relaxing holiday near Argeles-sur-Mer yet away from the crowds.

very nice place in the center of an old little town. the house is completely new and very tastefully renovated and equipped, only thing mistakeable: the two bedrooms are not separated! with kind and lively neighbourhood, Guy, the owner is a really nice and generous person. We enyoied our stay very much, sea, hiking and old culture in spitting distance.

Really enjoyed the nature, sea and village life surrounding this cool renovated house. Everything was new and tastefully done, fully equipped and lots of character was maintained in the charm of the old touches still present. Thanks for a great stay.
